    How bout we secure another one and go out on the town. I’d piss myself if I saw a couple of dudes dressed like that. Good conversation pieces.

    That Petro used be pretty nice with an excellent Iron Skillet, back in the 90’s. Haven’t been in there, since I left flatbeds.

    The Petro that was there in the 90s, In Lake Station became a Flying J. The Old Steel City stop at exit 9 was torn down and a Petro built, right across the street from the Loves, which took over the other Flying J when Pilot bought the Js.

    All truckstops suck and have for years especially the mega ones that put the family run ones out of business

    Don't forget the Marathon truckstop on the south side of Phenix City, AL--on US 431.

    That place is pretty much a rathote, too....:rolleyes:

    Have they rebuilt the Lives after it burned down? Last time I went by there they had a sign up saying they only had fuel available and I didn't stop.

    Man, stories like this make me miss T/A Ontario East and West. What a great time to be in trucking that was.

    I must amend my post. That was quite a few years ago. They've turned it around 360. It's been redone very much outside, and especially inside. I congratulate the new owners.
